VICTORIAN POTTERY AND PORCELAIN
by G. Bernard Hughes, Spring Books, London, 1959/1967.
Out-of-print, this early authoritative guide is a scholarly survey of 19TH Century English pottery and porcelain. Wonderfully illustrated in black and white, dedicated chapters take you through the history and production of most of your key English manufacturers and their product lines including registry marks. “The 90 illustrations show typical examples of all aspects of the craft of nineteenth-century British potters, from domestic tableware to pot-pourri dishes, loving cups and stirrup cups”, and much, much more.
“’Victorian’ in this book’s title means the whole of the nineteenth century, a period which saw a revolution in the potter’s craft and led to the production of Great Britain of an enormous amount of pottery, enabling Britain to dominate world pottery markets for a century.” Covered by chapter are: Basaltes and Egyptian Black; Terra-cotta; Pearl Ware; Staffordshire Blue; Bone China; Felspar Porcelain and Stone China; Ironstone China; Parian Ware; Slip Ware and Welsh Ware; Decoration; Lustre Ware; Colour Picture Prints and Staffordshire Pottery; Lithophane Pictures; Worcester; Derby, Rockingham, Coalport and Madeley; Leeds and Other Yorkshire Potteries; Pinxton, Torksey, Nantgarw and Swansea; Spode and Copeland; Minton, Wedgwood, Davenport and Other Staffordshire Potters; Liverpool; Sunderland Pottery; Chesterfield Brown Ware and Spirit Flasks; Belleek, Figures; Art Potteries; Registration Marks; Bibliography; and Index. This is an indispensable resource reference book for both the novice and advanced collector or dealer of English pottery and porcelain wares.
